Tech Mentor | AI-Driven Development & Requirements Definition Course

if Inc. (Nakano-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that its online programming school "Tech Mentor" has had its "Generative AI Engineer" course and "AI-Driven Development" course newly certified as Specialized Practical Education and Training (Fourth Industrial Revolution Skills Acquisition Program) effective October 1, 2025. Enrollment will be available from the same date. This means eligible students can receive up to 80% of their tuition fees subsidized by government grants. The Company will further strengthen its support for human resource development aimed at acquiring generative AI technology through this certification.

*Eligibility for the subsidy is subject to certain conditions. Please confirm eligibility, subsidy amounts, and application procedures through official information from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Hello Work, etc., and during Tech Mentor's free individual information sessions.

This course offers the "AI-Driven Development & Requirements Definition Course (6 months)" which provides end-to-end learning over six months, from upstream processes such as requirements definition and design, to app development and release utilizing AI tools like Cursor. As a Specialized Practical Education and Training subsidy eligible course, students who meet the conditions can receive up to 80% of their tuition fees.

In the AI Era, "Design Skills" are as Important as "Development Skills"

The evolution of AI development support tools has significantly accelerated app development speed.

However, the more development speed increases, the more crucial requirements definition and design become before development. Simply instructing an AI without a clear understanding of desired features, user challenges, screen layouts, data design, and testing strategies will not yield the expected results.

To effectively utilize AI, one needs not only the ability to input prompts but also the capability to design the entire development process from upstream stages, provide correct instructions to the AI, and validate/improve its output.

Tech Mentor's "AI-Driven Development & Requirements Definition Course (6 months)" is designed as a practical course that addresses this challenge by teaching upstream processes and AI-driven development together.

Features of Tech Mentor

Tech Mentor is an online programming school aiming to help students acquire practical skills from scratch.

Dedicated mentors, who are currently working engineers, provide one-on-one support to each student, assisting with questions, design reviews, code reviews, portfolio development, and career support.

This course systematically covers everything from requirements definition and design to implementation using AI tools, testing, deployment, and release.
